Course Overview

The Food Fermentation: The Science of Cooking with Microbes Course discusses the biochemical process of fermentation and the characteristics of fermented foods. The open online course is taught on the HarvardX platform under the collaboration of edX and Harvard University and is taught over a duration of 14 weeks.

The Food Fermentation: The Science of Cooking with Microbes Certification Course explains the role of microbial growth in fermenting and preserving food. The learners will get a chance to explore the history of food and beverage fermentation and its role in food processing like changing and enhancing different tastes, flavors and aromas in food.

The Food Fermentation: The Science of Cooking with Microbes Training Course is a self-paced course that is taught at the introductory level. The course is delivered by Pia Sorensen and Roberto Kolter of Harvard Medical School. The course will be taught with the help of online course materials and at-home exercises. After the completion of exams, students will receive a course certificate by paying the course fee. For the free cost, the candidates will get a limited duration of access to the self-paced programme.
